I currently have a excel workbook that has values being pulled from other workbooks

  • 0

I currently have a excel workbook that has values being pulled from other workbooks in the same folder on the network.

Wherever this workbook is opened, the link to the workbook changes, and no longer works, as it stays relative to where you are opening it from. I need the path to point to the same place every time.

Example for where it should be pointing.

='\\1.1.1.1\intranet\lp\files\test\[metricsheet.xlsm]information'!$B$13

Is there a way to keep this path (absolute) without VBA?

Thanks!

    If the first part (1.1.1.1) is an ip address, you need two slashes. A single slash just refers to a directory, not a server.
